Loaded with easy care features designed to ease reptile care - optional cabinet stand also available

Popular Exo Terra Natural Terrariums goes LOW to raise the bar in reptile care. Exo Terra Low Profile Glass Terrarium measures 12" high providing an ideal environment for terrestrial (ground dwelling) reptiles and amphibians. Low profile design reduces the distance between the canopy and the living space to maximize the benefits of UV light and heat lamps, making it a great habitat for desert reptile species!

The Exo Terra Low Profile Glass Terrarium features full screen top ventilation for UVB and infrared penetration and is removable for cleaning or decorating. Five closable wire/tube inlets in back of screen cover allow convenient installation of heating rocks, waterfalls, or sensors. Simply remove background and route cords through inlets. Raised bottom frame allows exterior mounting of a substrate heater. Polystyrene Rock Terrarium Background adds a climbing surface while also helping terrarium insulation. Made from black polystyrene, not white, to preserve its natural look even if chipped or damaged.

The Exo Terra Low Profile Glass Terrarium has specially designed easy turning latches to prevent escapes. However, for the ultimate in secure habitat closure, use the optional Exo Terra Terrarium Lock. Child proof combination lock prevents accidental escape of pet reptiles while easy-to-set design allows you to change the three digit tumbler combination as needed.

The Benefits of Naturalistic Reptile Habitats
Though artificial habitats are easier to set up and maintain, a naturalistic habitat will be far better for your herp if you can do it correctly. Replicating your herp's natural environment as closely as possible has a number of benefits, both physical and psychological, for your herp, and it is well worth the time and effort you put into it.

Benefits
Recreating your herp's natural environment provides environmental enrichment that is lacking in a simple enclosure with just a few accessories in it. It promotes natural behavior and contributes to normal activity levels, as it encourages your reptile to interact with its environment by climbing, hiding, burrowing, or performing other activities that it would in the wild.

A naturalistic terrarium will also help keep your reptiles healthy. Reptiles are very susceptible to stress-related illnesses, and one of the main causes of stress in reptiles is improper housing. Researching your reptile's habitat requirements and setting up an enclosure that mimics its natural environment will greatly reduce stress, which will keep it healthier.

Housing your herp in a naturalistic environment will also encourage proper eating and sleeping habits. Reptiles that are housed improperly or that aren't stimulated enough by their environment will often suffer from a decreased appetite or refuse food altogether. Failing to provide the right accessories and lighting will alter their photoperiods, disrupting their sleep patterns. Setting up a naturalistic terrarium will help your reptiles to eat properly as well as follow their natural waking and sleeping cycles.

Knowing What Setup to Use
Habitat requirements are naturally going to differ between species, some only a little, some drastically. A herp that is native to the rainforest or other tropical area is going to have vastly different housing needs than a herp native to the desert. This is why it is so important for you to research your herp's needs before bringing it home.

Look at pictures of its natural environment and note the natural plant life growing there. Research what the high and low temperatures are and how humid it gets. What food does it eat? How does a wild specimen find food? All of these things and more will help you to figure out which setup your herp will need.

The time you invest in researching your reptile's needs will ensure that it will be as healthy as possible, and it can greatly extend your reptile's life span. It is estimated that 90% of reptiles die within the first year, due mostly to improper housing. Spending time determining what your reptile's ideal habitat is cannot only keep it happier and healthier; it can save its life.

A reptile paludarium is an excellent way to replicate a natural environment, but how can you be sure you have everything you'll need for the habitat? Get a foolproof aquarium/terrarium kit with integrated filtration and lighting!

Great Tank
I ordered this for a baby Blue Tongue skink. The tank arrived in several layers of packaging and padding and was in perfect shape.
I love this tank because of the front doors. It makes it so easy to access the tank for quick maintenance (removing waste, changing water) and it's also a great way to interact with my reptile without spooking him by putting my hands in from above.
Overall, very well designed and arrived quickly and in perfect condition!

Great product
Ordered this for my Leo and he adjusted well to it and has plenty of room to explore and loves to climb the background.

Great Product
We were using a standard aquarium and decided we wanted to use it as an aquaruim and get our bearded dragon a new home. We looked at multiple pet shops and the prices were very high. We searched online and still found prices to be very high.
Once we found this site we immediately researched and purchased. Knowing the product from previous research this was by far the best set up and price. D.B. Cooper is very happy in his new home. It is great access through the front doors and so easy to clean, and less places to escape when it is time to play. Love the back wall set up as.
well.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE PRODUCT AND THIS COMPANY

Good habitat for beardies
I had an 12' wide aquarium cage setup before purchasing the medium terrarium. My beardie "Blu" had since outgrown that aquarium and needed a well designed setup and this was the best option. Its well thought out, the front doors are a huge plus when handling inside the terrarium. The only gripe i could find is the background that comes included. When feeding, the crickets manage to climb up the styrofoam background and escape through the cable holes on top. I had to remove the background, while its a great accent its just not meant when feeding Blu crickets.
9.5/10 would recommend

I just need to know if it is a good idea to buy a smaller tank for a bearded dragon and then upgrade to a bigger tank when he/she gets too big, or is it ok to just buy a bigger tank right away and when he/she gets bigger just rearrange the decorations to fit his/her size.

I want two geckos and want them to live with each other in the same tank. They will be together from a very young age so they can grow up together. I only want to buy one habitat for the rest of their life's.

Thank you for your question. The lighting strips sometimes do melt the plastic on the screen cover because they can get quite hot. We recommend using the suspended light domes using the light bracket, CF-77744. This does suspend the light a little higher so you might need a slightly stronger heat or UV bulb, but it would all depend on the basking spots in your terrarium.
